The next time you are lamenting the fact that you cannot find a doctor, consider this before you claim the system has gone over to the dogs: Rover will see an oncologist within days while you will wait five weeks for a consultation. A bum hip will bum you out for a year and it will take you three months to see(?) a specialist for cataract surgery. Spot can get both fixed tomorrow. It is now painfully clear that although you may work like a dog, you can only dream of qualifying for their health care benefits. While on the subject of pain: Students at your average Canadian medical school study pain management for 16 hours. Students at Veterinary Schools spend 87 hours on pain management.
